I have bought two LD2410C boards to detect when someone is on the stairs in my house. I'll then set up lighting with WLED. Because the stairs go round two 90 degree turns I decided to put one sensor at the top and one at the bottom. I'm assuming they'll each need a ESP32 board to complete this setup. Great video - thank you for all the useful information!

Do you like the soldering iron? I'm almost buying a weller, but I'm looking for a more inexpensive alternative that works the same. It has to work good as a weller does

I Just created a digital clock and message board using a 8x32 LED matrix. It's all Home Assistant driven. My plan was to integrate the LD2410 sensor in the clock to just display the time/date/temperature when somebody is detected in front of the clock. I have that now working with a Shelly Motion sensor, that triggers a Tuya USB Smart switch that powers the D1 Mini running WLED and the Matrix board. If I can put the LD2410 sensor on another ESP board with relay, I can use that to enable/disable power to the WLED

Do you have any guidance on the "i2c" section of your code? I'm trying to use a Wemos D1 Mini and it won't compile with your i2c block (even if I adjust the pins to ones that exist in my board). But without it, I can see the device and "visit" its web interface, but it doesn't detect anything (all values are "NA".) It's also possible (likely?) that it's some other setting, the "i2c" just stands out.

I am using the same yaml file as your example. But it would not work on my esp32 wroom dev board. After searching around a bit I found that under the uart setting you have to put the GPIO for RX pin and GPIO for TX pin. Just thought I would pass it along. Great Video Keep Up The Good Work..... uart: id: ld2410_uart tx_pin: GPIO1 rx_pin: GPIO3 baud_rate: 256000 parity: NONE stop_bits: 1

Could the ESP32 not only connect the LD2410 (wired) but also be a bluetooth proxy for other LD2410 around the house? Also I think you should make a video on how to best power these devices... it's simple enough to use a USB cable but maybe there's a great/cheap way to have these setup around the house without using up 1 socket with an unsightly cable...

Good Day, I am using an esp8266 nodemcu, i keep getting an error? Your Yaml file is for a d1 mini. What would I modify?

I bought some of the Bluetooth ones a while back and tried them with the HA's Bluetooth interface but couldn't get them going. Realised a bit later that the metal case of the pi was probably blocking it. When I put the module closer to the pi it worked fine, but not much good if all the sensors have to be within a short distance from the pi. Going to give this a try with the remaining modules to see if I can spread them around the house a bit.

Been using mine LD2410C for about a week now. For now been just playing with it and getting to the point where I just got it perfect tooned in. For my first automation I've just made a simple one, When I sit down on my office chair, it will turn off the ceiling light and turn on a smaller wifi lamp. When ever it will sense presence in my pc chair the light will stay on and when I go to the sofa (mainly when I want to watch some movies) it will turn that lamp off. My objective is, when I build in my new desk the sensor will turn on the LEDs that I will be installing on the setup, and every time I leave the setup they will turn off.

Hello Kiryu, I created a smart led staircase. All steps have a WS2811 LED strip attached and I use 4 radars. 1 radar on top and 1 on bottom, and 1 radar going down, 1 radar going up from the middle because I have an entrance in my house from the middle. Middle sensors act as boolean to avoid triggering the top and bottom radars. I used 2 ESP32 to which I attached 1 x LD2410 + 1 x LD1125H

Hi there! Your smart LED staircase project sounds impressive and well-thought-out with the combination of WS2811 LED strips and multiple radars.

@@KPeyanski Thanks for your reply Peyanski. At first I thought about using small recessed PIR sensors but it would have implied structurally modifying the poles of the handrail, it was complicated. Then I bought a FP2 sensor for the Top trigger but it was too much expensive for this project to buy more just for a trigger. I discovered LD2140 with your first video on this device and then I changed my plans. I first bought 4 x LD2140, plugged them by BLE with a BT-Proxy, and soon realized it was unreliable for quick triggers and couldn't handle 4 devices simultaneously. I then discovered LD1125H from Digiblur video and I was impressed by how accurate and fast it was. I decided to buy 2 x LD1125H for the main triggers and decided to move the LD2140 to ESPHome for faster and more reliable triggers for my booleans, and managed to combine 2 radars by ESP32. I also created a virtual switch with an extra ESP32 to trigger the LED controller by replicating the behavior of a standard PIR motion sensor. So basically I have 4 radars that act as booleans, and the top and bottom booleans ends up triggering virtual switch that sends 3.3V to the LED controller. I've learned so much from the Home Assistant community, I put that good knowledge to use! You was part of that HA adventure, I built my HA-Supervised watching your videos. Thanks Peyanski!

Hi Kiryu, the issue with LD2410 (B/C version) over Bluetooth was that it sends a ton of data over that interface and BT link drops. There was no way to limit amount of data that is been sent. Moving to tx/rx interface and using wifi to connect to HA, this issue might be closed. Can you share your experience on how much data is been sent to HA with config that you described? Is this adustable via ESPHome config - like having 5 second for timeout?

You can remove the entire section under Sensor that says this Sensor: - platform: ld2410 moving_distance: name: Moving Distance still_distance: name: Still Distance moving_energy: name: Move Energy detection_distance: name: Detection Distance and it will still work for detecting what's under the binary_sensor section. This will greatly reduce the amount of data transmitted over wifi as it will stop reporting that info while still providing presence detection, moving target detection and still target detection as normal.
